Racism has no place. Anywhere.

When sexism and racism intersect, new layers of oppression emerge, impacting the lives of women and girls disproportionately.

On #FightRacism Day and every day, let's speak out against all forms of discrimination.

'On this Day, let’s commit to work together to build a world of dignity, justice and equal opportunity for every community, everywhere.'

~ United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. #HumanRightsDay
